...great point...I'm on my third year of a Wilderness Products Instructor's belt...1 1/2"...about $36 and still holds its shape...good leather belts are around $50 up...but worth it for the reasons you gave...it's held everything I could hang off it...velcro and no bulky buckle...easy to snug up when I go into City Hall or PO and have to drop iron...

...excellent advice...might reduce the size of the "holster box" we all seem to end up with...true, a particular situation or style of dress may call for something different, but excellent basic rules...seems we've got us another guru who'll share his experience with us...God is good...
